I've been playing dawn of war for a long time, but only got round to bothering with soulstorm today, on a whim. First off I was stunned when I launched the game and had to deal with the default camera zoom - quickly realising that a long, loooong time ago i downloaded some new camera scripts to increase your viewing distance dramatically.

Trying to play the game with the original view distance, I found it a messy and frustrating experience. A quick google though provided me with the same camera scripts i'd used in Dark Crusade, and voila, I can see a tactically sensible proportion of the battlefield at a time (roughly three or four times as wide a perspective as before, and zoomed further out).

WHY do the devs try and hinder you with the crazy close up perspective? Isn't this a strategy game?

Anyway, if you own dawn of war and haven't downloaded some camera .lua's yet, I thoroughly reccomend you do. It won't interfere with your ability to play online, and it instantly makes the game far more enjoyable.
